You won't be able to resist a plate of warm, sticky, sweet cinnamon roll monkey bread. It's easy to make since two tubes of refrigerated cinnamon rolls are the base for the deliciously doughy treat.

Ingredients

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cans (17-1/2 ounces each) large refrigerated cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing, quartered

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Place butter in a small bowl. In a separate small bowl, stir together brown sugar, sugar and cinnamon. Dip each piece of cinnamon roll into butter, then roll in sugar cinnamon mixture. Stack pieces in a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan.

Regular monkey bread is delicious on its own—but when you use cinnamon rolls instead of biscuits, the beloved brunch dish is even more comforting. Serve cinnamon roll monkey bread at your next brunch-time get-together, and see if your guests notice the difference. —Megan Taylor, Greenfield, Wisconsin
